Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at Chesterfield, South Carolina. ^ TAXING SAND AND SALT In getting up the protective tariff bill the Republicans are not lettincr anything escape that the great mass of people are compelled to use in their daily round of life. The latest and most indefensible performance in this direction is putting a tax of 40 cents upon 200 pounds sacks of salt. Senator Heflin, of Alabama, who is noted for his zealous and increasing efforts in behalf of the common people, said of this tariff tux on salt: "You leave the whole American people absolutely helpless ir. the hands of the Salt Trust of the United States. The forces that control the Salt Trud will control the output and price of /.alt in h ay to m i.:o the greatest profit possible, and you have enabled them to do that by the use, or rather, the misuse and abuse, of the taxing power" Referring to the tax on sand, Senator Heflin said: "Sand is used in making every kind of glassware imaginable?yes, and milk bottles for the baby, as suggested by my good friend from South Carolina (Mr. Dial). I am glad he mentioned that. It shows that nobody not even the infant in his cradle, can escape the tax gatherers of the Republican party, and you have just voted to place a tax ond sand." Senator Thos. F,. Watson, of Georgia, in his usual sarcastic style thus referred to these outrageous items in the proctective tariff bill: "Almost every hearthstone in Am erica, almost every monument, almost every tomb has called for the use ol sand, and when the Republicans ta> it they do what has never been done before in any country on earth. Ever the patriotic American chicken must pay a tax on the sand in his gizzard "And salt! I should like to havt somebody tell me what article of foot can dispense with salt, from the souj to the walnuts and the wine? Th( wine having been abolished by oui genial friends on the other side, the salt is now confined to the walnuts but if you are wise you take snit wit! your pecan nuts, your almond nuts your hickory nuts, your peanuts, and your walnuts. No fresh meat may be used without salt; 110 meat can be cured witout salt; no lish can be kepi without salt. "The herdsman 011 the plains musi have salt for his cattle. The house keeper on the farm must give ol< 'mcoicy' her regular allowance ol salt. The rich man's pleasure horse must have his salt; the poor man's work horse must have his salt." FOR AND AGAINST DRUGGISTS In Congress a few elays ago retai druggists were uneler discussion am the price of elrugs and prescriptions One Senator, Hon. George W. Nor ris, of Nebaska, was inclined to criti cize the retail druggists as profiteer! while Senator Hitchcock, of the same state defended the druggists. Senatoi Norris had some experience with drug gists in Washington City that caused him to intimate that all druggists pul on too much profit. He told this an ecdote, that is not new by any means "I once heard of a druggist who em ployed a new prescription clerk. Af ter he had been working in his new piace ior a uay or iwo ne put up i proscription for a customer, and aftei the customer had gone away he dis covered that the customer had giver him a counterfeit bill. He was verj much worired for fear he would lost his position because he had not beer careful enough. He went immediately ly to the proprietor and showed him the bill. It was a $1 bill and was evidently a counterfeit. But instead of the proprietor reprimanding the cleric he said, after he looked over the prescription carefully, "How much did you chage him for that prescription?" The clerk said, "I charged him $1.10." The proprietor asked, "What about the 10 cents, was that good or was it counterfeit?" The celrk said, "Oh, no; that was good." Oh, well," said the proprietor, "it is not so serious then. There is stil la profit of 5 cents in the transaction." Senator Hitchcock came to the defense of the retail druggists in this reply: "We hear people decry the prices that the druirtrists are rhnrenn and yet we all know that the average corner drug store only eking out an existence. Practically everything that the drugist sells is taxed. In the chemical schedule which we have been discussing almost every article sold in the drug store is subject to a tax. That is true not only as to calomel but thousands of the chemicals that every druggist uses are subjected to a tax in this bill as they are subject to a tax under the present law. "The druggist is taxed for other articles; the toothbrushes which he sells are taxed; his combs are taxed; all toilet articles which he sells are taxed; the soda water which he dispenses is taxed, as well as cigars sold over his counter." i ? . 1 A Washington corerspondent says | that Senator New, of Indiana, does j not believe in primaries. The result of J the election in Indiana would indicate that the primaries do not believe in Senator New. They voted to keep him at home.

While many posts ob-j served Memorial Day on May 10th,' others followed out the plans of the National body and observed May 30th. As the national body lias adopted May 30th as Memorial Day all Posts j in the State should observe this date I and should make an effort to have all1 forces in their committees join in this movement for a united Memorial Dayj observed in a manner be fitting to the occasion. A wireless receiving set has been installed in Legion headquarters at Dillon. The post ut Dillon has well | equipped club rooms on one of the* ; principal streets of the town and the addition of a radion set will mean a great deal in the entertainment of the ' members. Thursday was a big day for the Legion post at Bennettsville. June day 11 festival was given by the women's . federated clubs for the benefit of the I Bennettsville post. The affair was de1 elared a success and the officers of the ' post were well pleased with the splendid showing made. The queen of the I festival was crowned early Thursday, evening. This event formally opened I the affair which was held on the I streets of the city. Mayor Arthur C. Lyttle, of Fort Mill, who is a member of the Legion is joining in plans for a big Fourth of July Celebration at Fort Mill under the auspices of the post. Members of the several posts in York county will be invited to attend the affair. It is planned to have a sham battle bei tween the Rock Hill and Fort Mill companies of the National Guard. ; Plans are being laid by the post at Florence for the State convetnion to be held in Florence, August 23 and > 24. Mr. Archie M. Duncan, Post Com? mander, and Col Henry T. Thompson, post commander, are considering ar rangemnts to be made for taking care I of the hundreds of legion men who are expected to attend. ! PRESENT WEEVIL CONDITIONS i t No Need for Extreme Pessimism As To Damage I Clemson College, June .1.?After a ) conference here between Director W. ' W. Long, of the Extension Service, f Prof. A. F. Conradi. Entomologist and J V. V. Williams, until recently asso; ciated with the Delta Labratory and i now with the Extension Service to > conduct poisoning demonstrations in I this State, Director Long issued a - statement on the boll weevil situation ' to the effect that many of the insecs t now present on cotton in various parts of the state are not boll weevils but t cowpea pod weevils, since the real - loss to be expected depends on weath1 er conditions in June and July. Di rector Long's statement which shouldj i tend to temper the alarm now felt by ? many, is given below: "A great majority of the weevils in most of the cotton fields at this time j are cowpea pod weevils and not boll I weevils. These insects in most cases look so very much alike that it is difficult for the average man to distingguish them. The cowpea weevil is not primarily a cotton pest but occurs on , cotton only temporarily in the absence of cowpeas. This pest is most injurious along the line from Barnwell to I Marlboro county. In this belt it is ext pected every season at this time, and the most successful practice is to de. lay chopping of young cotton untii the attacks are over. Wherever these insects attack cotton that has been chopped to a stand the value of rapid thorough cultivation cannot be overestimated. f Summer Weather Main Factor "The fact that the boll weevil passed the winter in great numbers and may be expectd in cotton fields at this time in unusual abundance, does not necessarily mean great damage to the cotton crop. Situations like this have! I ! occurred before in the history of the , boll weevil in this country, where they! came out of winter quarters early and in great numbers, causing a panicky condition among the farmers. The loss! ! that we may expect depends on the | , weather conditons of June and July, j "With the approach of hot weather the present generation of weevils may J be practically destroyed, so that the abandoning of a cotton crop at this| time could hardly be justified by thej records. The cotton should be given I frequent and shallow cultivation to ] keep down the weeds and to air the { soil. As the bulk of the cotton crop in South Carolina is made by share-cropbepers, the women and children I should be used to pick weevils, and 1 this ?K>r>nl/l Kr? cr. : > it . u>. ,ii> i>u)icivist'u mat it' | is done with groat thoroughness, otherwise it has no value whatever. "The damage done by weevils injuring the bud at this time is frequently overestimated, the only effect being slightly delaying the growth of the plant. "Farmers prepared for dusting are advised that the first dusting may be given in heavily infested fields, about | the time the fruiting begins, and this/ i to be followed by the second applica-l i tion when ten to fifteen per cent, of ! the squares have been punctured, at i which time three dustings should be ! given in succession four days apart. Infestation counts are easily made by ! anyone and directions are furnished by the Extension Service." VAUGHAN We are having continuous showers I and the farmers are getting behind' with their work. Harvesting is being ; hindered to a great extent. ' The boll weevil is becoming veryf, common as very near every cotton lii ! l i i n ll pest.

Tact lies In knowing when to go home. It Is better to be lonely than bored. Our real life Is not behind, but before us. An honest book's the noblest work of man. There Is no such thing as a successful liar. I Why shouldn't a wife act like one possessed? No Innocent bystander evet had misgivings. The universe Is wider than our views of It. Fame Is more lasting, but notoriety pays quicker. Good spelling doesn't make friends with millions. Willingness to work will make a hit In any job. Smiles being sunshine, frowns are cloudy weather.

Trust a woman to tell you whether her friend's hair is dyed. Charity never begins at home while houseclenning is going on. A fool Is either the handiwork of nature or of some woman. Any man can argue with a woman, but It seldom does any good. Sometimes when a man lends a hand he expects an army In return. How fast the faults ef a man fade when ha takes a notion ta like you. Feminine complexions often resemble small boys?they don't wash. When a man is busy he never admires another who sings at his work. If some men fall to get their just deserts they have cause for rejoicing. Famous ancestors seldom had their future reputation In that role in view. Nothing In the world Is either nobler or rnrer than a truly devoted friendship. An old man with a good steady in expresses nm opinions pretty freely. If you love your friend you Will laugh nt his joke whether It Is funny or not. All the reward.some get for their experience Is the privilege of telling about it.

M i ? 1 Stories of *?T Great Scouts | ?. Western Newspaper Union. THE EXPLOIT OF PIONEER SCOUT ANDREW POE | Andrew and Adam Poe, two broth* I' era, were scouts In the pioneer days of Ohio. One day when the Poe b rot hers were leading a party on the trail of a band of Indians who bad raided the settlements, they left their men to try to locate the savages. The brothers became separated. On the bank of a river Andrew came upon a giant Wyandot chief and a smaller Indian who were standing with their rifles cocked but looking In another direction. Poe's rifle missed Are when be shot at the chief and the Indians at once . discovered him. Before they could I shoot, the scout sprang upon them, seizing both around the neclc. " The small Indian jerked loose first and while the chief held Voe, bis companion tried to get In a death blow with his tomahawk. Andrew allowed him to come close. Then with one mighty kick he plunted his foot In the Indian's stomach, hurling him backward and knocking the hatchet from his hand. When the little Indian got his breath back and recovered his tomahawk, he advanced to the attack again and succeeded In wounding Poe In the arm. A second later the scout pulled himself from the grasp of the chief, seized one of the Indians' guns and shot the warrior as he advanced to attack him a third time. Poe was no longer fightlug against odds and he Immediately attacked the chief. The ground was wet and slippery. In another moment the Indian and thft , white man, locked In each other's arms, fell Into the water and each began trying to drown the other. Finally Poe seized his enemy by the scalp lock and held his head under water until he believed the chief was dead. When he released his hold, however, the redskin renewed the struggle. By this time they were fighting In deep water. Seemingly at the same time both thought of the one loaded rifle on the shore and both started to swim to get It. The Indian was the better swimmer and reached the bank first. As the chief picked up the gun, Poe turned back In the water and began diving to nvold a bullet. The chief, however, had picked up an empty gun, the one with which Andrew bad killed the little Indian, nnd before the Wyandot could get the loaded weapon, Adam Poe, who had heard the shot, came running to his brother's rescue. He fired and the Indian fell dead. 1 "VAMPS" WHO I ; MADE HISTORY j By JAMES C. YOUNG. (? by McCIura New*paper Syndicate.) THE WOMAN WHO TURNED PHILOSOPHERS' HEADS. I WT* we thumb the book of hlsV v tory and turn buck io a I written 2,300 years ago, that seems a very long time to us. But human nature then wus much the same as it Is now. Women ruled in the Fourth century, B. C., no less than they do today. Just as the great poet Homer was claimed by several cities, there also was intense rivalry concerning the birthplace of Lais. She would seem to have been born In Hiccnra, Sicily. At the age of seven she fell under the eye of the Athenian general, Nlcals, who I directed her education. Lais became 1 a woman of much greater accomplish' ment than most of her sex In that farl off time. Lnls lived for a time In Corinth, then went to Athens, where she soon became one of the most celebrated figures. Diogones, the cynic, and Arlstlppus followed doellelv In her train. Thplr rte votion led Lais to this gentle bit of sarcasm: "I do not understand what Is meant by the austerity of these philosophers," she said, "for they are as much In my power as the rest of the Athenians." The rule of Lais In Athens continued for a long time. Her influence was sufficient to make men's fortunes almost at will. She dallied with the most noted men of the 6tate. Her bouse was a meeting place for all that wus brilliant In Athens. Rut even so splendid a vampire was destined to know misery. She fell In love with a youth named Hlppolochus. Unlike the philosopher*, he tired of Lais and left her. She could not be consoled, despite the attentions of Athens' greatest men. Her heart yearned for the careless youth who had loved and went away. What a burden that must have been to her pride! At last she could stand her unhappiness no longer and followed Hlppolochus to Thessnly. Lais' reputation had preceded her. Perhaps uhp llUPfl lior ll/llno In 1 ? ..v. ".ISO ?U i uuamii) n?

YfTWKN Gideon Babshaw, chief of detectives of Cleveland, Ohio, was notified over the long distance wire from Buffalo, that the police of that city had captured the four men responsible for the murder of Patrolman Leroy Bouker, he smiled, shrugged his shoe Mora, and muttered: "Pine work! That much is out of the way!" But; had Rabshaw only known It, his troubles were only beginning? for one of the bandits, a man by the name- of, Meaneyf-Ad?ter mined to- fight for his life with every weapon that the law afforded him. Securing an attorney familiar with the kinks and twists of criminal law, he quickly succeeded in manufacturing an alibi which appeared to be ironclad. Half a dozen witnesses - swore that, at the time Bouker was> shot, Meaney hud been in their company, and that It was physically Impossible for him to reach the scene of the crime In tluie to take part in the murder. Meaney's lawyer followed his client's instructions to "make the alibi good : enough for me to have 24 hoars clearance?once I'm out of Cleveland they'll never And me" and the district attorney, rather than Imperil the entire case, decided to drop the proceedings against Meaney and concentrate his attack upon the other three men who had the foresight to provide themselves with capable legal assistance. Therefore, In spite of the pleadings of Chief ltubshaw, Meaney was released. Less than twelve hours later, the chief of detectives secured evidence that riddled the carefully prepared nllbl?evidence which proved that Meaney had been directly implicated in the murder. But It was too late. The gunman bad vanished, apparently Into thin nr! Spurred on by a realization that he had had the man he wanted, actually lodged in jail, only to lmve him slip through a loophole In the legal wall which surrounded him, Rabshaw determined to null the escaped murderer If, us he stated, "It took ten years and every man on the force to do It." The city of Cleveland was combed from one end to the other. Every known meeting pluco In the underworld was watched and raided and elosed. But the days lengthened Into weeks, and the weeks into months, and still there was no trace of Meaney. At night, when his day's work was finished, Rabshaw would relieve the mun ulways on watch at the former Meuney home, for the chief hau a theory that some day the fugitive's I wife would provide the clue which would lead them to the man they wanted. "Yes, I know It's hard work and tedious work," Rabshaw would say, as he took up his nightly vigil. "But there's no woman alive that can outwii UH if n'c keep StCCdRjr St It. As events proved, however, Rabshaw was wrong. The clue which led to the final capture came from another and unexpected source. It was some eleven months after H/inlrPl* m <i#4aw Haaaam K?%<1 wuavt IUUIUCI o*.tci tfivauc/ uau been traced to Toledo and Pittsburgh and St. Louis and Toronto and various points In between, the police alway? me lump behind him?that RabShaw dropped Into the Cleveland postoffice to purchase a stamp. There was nothing unusual In the action ItBelf. He had bought stamps at that window hundreds of times before. But there was something in the attitude of the > woman ahead of him In line, something furtive about the manner In which she attempted to conceal the address of the letter which she carried, wiuCu uiuuc iuv chief of the do* tectlvea wonder what was wrong. When he caught a flash of her face, half-hidden under a long black veil, he had an Intuition that he knew her reason for trying to prevent anyone from seeing the letter. The woman was Meaney's sister-in-law. As she purchased the stamp and bent forward to affix it, Rabshaw stepped swiftly out of line, and sue| ceeded In catching a glimpse of the I envelope. One glance was all he needed. The missive was addressed to John M. Oliver, at a number which Rabshasr knew was in a secluded and quiet part of Indianapolis. Knrly the following morning Rabshuw took up his vigil outside the house where Oliver was supposed to be living. But no one answering to the description of the missing man made his appearance, so the Cleveland chief determined to force the issue by sending two of the local police In to And out If anyone by that nume resided there. Scarcely had they reported that "Oliver lived there, but was out at the time," than Meaney strolled down the street and started to mount the steps of the house, totally unsuspicious of his danger. An In atant later, Rabshaw waa ui>oii him, his automatic ready far action, but the fugitive, realizing the folly of oppositlon to superior force, threw up his hands and surrendered. "You've got me," he admitted. "Just when I thought I waa safe, too. How'd you manage It?" "A little matter of a postage stamp," said Rabshaw, and It wasn't until after lie had commenced his life term in the Ohio penitentiary, that Meaney discovered the loophole which he had overlooked, the trivial detail which had enabled Rabshaw to trace him when every other means had failed.
